I haven't either but, it looks like the 'suspension and fines' comment was probably exclusive of one another.

There could be a fine; there could be a suspension; there could be a fine and suspension in one offering. It just depends on the circumstances and whether Lane is involved or not.

We all need to remember that Mike Slive is not only a SuperHero and a Genius, he's also crafty like a Fox.

I'm sure Urban is happy to exchange that for beating CLK.

I'm sure CLK is laughing right now because Urban got the fine and he didn't. Funny how things work.

I'm not so sure. Urban got a bunch more of junior's preferred "any pub is good pub" and Coach Meyer's salary is quite a bit more than junior's. Although, junior probably has quite a bit of Al Davis's cash in the bank.

My guess is Monte's kid is constructing a monster outburst in order grab the media's attention back. Looks like he's smart enough to carefully plan his next verbal assault to minimize the collateral damage that Slive might inflict. It should be a doozy.

Yeah but here's the thing. Lil' Wayne charges 100k to drop 16 bars in a rap song. He has said, " "I wouldn't do a song for my sister for less than $75,000."
Best MC: Lil Wayne : Rolling Stone

Lane paid zero to get mentioned a line in one song and now a couple of verses in another.

Meyer paid 30k to get reprimanded for criticizing refs. and sounded like a d*uche handling the Spikes incident.

Trying to be like Lane is funny and not his style.

The fact that you think that CLK has to plan what he is going to say is laughable. I'm pretty sure he knows what is going on and that he knows what to say.

P.S. The only publicity that Urban is getting is the negative variety. CLK is getting positive and negative publicity. Mostly positive, though.

I think pretty much everybody in the country outside of vol fans KNOWS lane is intentionally drawing any publicity he can to the program. Yes it is planned.

I think Urban could care less about the publicity he gets, he's too busy winning championships. You'd be a fool to think he didn't intentionally make those comments to take the heat off of Brandon Spikes, only a blind homer would deny it.

If Urban didn't care about the negative publicity, he would not have commented at all about Brandon Spikes' eye gouge and there would've been no suspension issued.

do wut?

I said Urban doesn't care about the publicity he gets, whether it be negative or positive. He commented on the late hit on Tebow, not the Brandon Spikes eye gouge, and he was fined not suspended. $30k amounts to less than 3 days pay for Urban Meyer, and it took 100% of the heat off his player who was and still is a first round draft pick.

@Tidal Surge - that's weak, throwing a tinfoil hat up trying to dismiss the issues with officiating by marginalizing it with a silly photo.

I disagree. Please read my post again, as my suspension quote was a reference to Spikes' suspension, not an Urban Meyer possible suspension.

Urban did also comment on Spikes in announcing Spikes' suspension, which, as I stated, would not have been handed down if Urban didn't care about the publicity that he generates.
